Your Smart Energy Tracker connects with your smart meter
and gives you lots of useful information about your energy
use. It can help you to:
You can carry your Smart Energy Tracker around the house,
switch o appliances as you go and see straight away how
that aects the amount of energy you’re using.
Important: Just make sure you put your Smart Energy Tracker
back on charge – if the battery goes flat, it will take a couple
of days to re-load your historical energy usage.
If you stray out of range and lose your connection, bring the
Smart Energy Tracker closer to your Smart meter.

it’ll give you the option to run through a quick tutorial
to show how it works. Try that and then return to

The great thing about your new Smart Energy Tracker is that it
really lets you take control of your energy use. To help you do
that, you can set targets for your household and see how your
actual energy use measures up.
How do I set targets
for my usage?
When you set a target, your Smart Energy Tracker will set
a threshold which appears at the bottom of the screen.
Below target On target Over target
17
Your usage light also glows dierent colours to let
you know if you're under target (green), on target
(amber) or over (red).
So amber's the one to aim for. Or better still, green.
Set targets
and you can
quickly see
if your energy
use is on track

From the Home Page, press ‘OK’ to access the Main Menu.
Use the up/down arrows to select ‘Electricity’ or ‘Gas’, then
select ‘Daily Target’.
At the top of the screen, the ‘Source’ section will highlight
five dierent ways to set your targets.
Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the options
and press OK to go into your preferred target option:
Daily Budget: With this option you can set a target in £/p for the
day. The 'Set Target' section will be highlighted and you can use
the up/down arrows to change your target amount. Press and
hold the up/down arrows for faster increments or decrements.
Once you’ve entered your target amount, press ‘OK’ to confirm.
For guidance on the sort of figure you should be aiming for,
see page 20.
Save 5%: This option works out how much you used yesterday
and sets a new target based with a 5% reduction in kWh.
Of course, this only works after you’ve used your Smart
Energy Tracker for at least two days.
